This paper concerns with the boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a permeable stretching\shrinking sheet in a viscous fluid, with the bottom surface of the plate is heated by convection from a hot fluid. The partial differential equations governing the flow and heat transfer are converted into ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation, before being solved numerically. The effects of the suction, convection and stretching\shrinking parameters on the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are examined and graphically illustrated. Dual solutions are found to exist for a certain range of the suction and stretching\shrinking parameters. The numerical results also show that suction widens the range of the stretching\shrinking parameter for which the solution exists.

Three dimensional heat transfer and flow characteristics in a set of rectangular microchannels are numerically investigated. A finite volume solver is employed to predict thetemperature field for the conjugate heat transfer problem in both the solid...

The presence of particles in liquid–solid fluidized beds enhances the bed heat transfer, because the movement of the particles leads to an increased turbulence in the system. Moreover, the violent movement of the particles has a positive effect on...

Radiation effect on steady laminar hydromagnetic flow of a viscous, Newtonian and electrically conducting fluid past a porous rotating infinite disk is studied taking Hall current into account. The system of axisymmetric nonlinear partial...

The paper aims at investigating the effects of Ohmic and viscous dissipations on the steady two–dimensional radiative boundary–layer flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting fluid caused by a linearly stretching sheet placed at the...

The problem of the steady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation–point flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid over a shrinking sheet is studied. The effects of an induced magnetic field and thermal radiation are taken into...
